The OEL IT-11-882 T40 Torx Bit Socket is a 3/8 inch drive insulated hand tool designed for use in electrical environments. It is built to support tasks that require a standard Torx bit socket while maintaining electrical insulation up to a rated exposure of 1000 VAC and 1500 VDC, aligning with common safety requirements for energized work. Made in the USA, the socket carries a double-insulated construction and includes a lifetime warranty, reflecting a focus on durability and long-term service in demanding settings.
Constructed to meet recognized standards for insulated hand tools, this T40 socket is intended for use where electrical safety is a priority. It is designed to withstand higher-energy interactions typical in electrical maintenance and installations, with testing that supports insulation claims up to 10,000 VAC and a documented arc rating of 1000 VAC. The feature set also includes impact resistance and flame retardancy, which contribute to safer operation in environments where tool failure could pose a hazard. These attributes matter when selecting tools for up-close electrical work, as they can influence both personal safety and the reliability of fastener maintenance under electrical load.
For practical use, this socket operates on a 3/8 inch drive and is supplied in a single-pack configuration. It is suitable for applications requiring T40 Torx bits and where compliance with insulated-hand-tool guidelines is part of the job scope, such as certain maintenance and electrical installation tasks. When integrating into tool kits, verify compatibility with your drive platform and ensure the insulation ratings meet the specific voltages encountered in the intended work scenario.
